Poetry: The water's edge

by haley

Created on: August 10, 2009

My toes dip into the warm water and

Tiny waves wet my feet.

Feels good to be here, tonight

I can just sit

And unwind, just me and the water

And the trees

We are so close to each other,

Water touching feet, water touching sand, and sand

Touching trees.

All tied together. And I know that this

Was the right place to come tonight,

This is the only place

Where everything else can slide away.

Here I sit, feet swishing in the water, eyes gazing

Into the blue sky, and my worries slowly drift away,

Floating across the lake, and my thoughts stop spinning,

Until they are as still and peaceful

As the lake itself.
